Last year at CMJ Lauren and I saw them play a rather quiet set and it was amazing. It was the first time in a very long time that we had seen a band that totally blew us away. Since then we have wanted to play with them and have kept in contact. When Lauren was setting up some of the tour shows they were able to put together a show in Chapel Hill where they are from.
The show was absolutely amazing. As a band they play together as though they read each other's thoughts. Their music is expressive and rich. Beyond the music, they are kind and helpful friends that I am proud to know.
Normally when I watch bands play, there is a part of me that is comparing my own performances with the band playing. I am not trying to be critical or competative in doing it. I am just comparing notes. With Bellafea that melts away and I am just a fan. This is a great feeling. If you enjoy music at all, check out Bellafea.
